Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced a civil investigative demand into Concierge Apartments management for alleged mismanagement leading to unsafe living conditions, including loss of hot water, ignored work orders, and evacuation orders. The investigation seeks records on tenant complaints, repairs, and documentation of $2 million in repairs promised. The property owner, J.R.K Property Holdings, is a private equity-backed real estate firm with $15 billion in assets.
In-house legal teams should review property management and lease agreements for clauses related to maintenance standards, repair response times, tenant rights during uninhabitable conditions, rent adjustments, and early lease termination. Ensure contracts include clear compliance with local housing codes and requirements for landlord-provided insurance or indemnification for property damage.

On May 11, 2026, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong led a bipartisan coalition of 21 attorneys general in submitting a comment letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) urging the agency to abandon draft guidance that would ease approvals for flavored e-cigarette products. The coalition argues the guidance ignores evidence that flavored e-cigarettes disproportionately drive youth addiction and that FDA has failed to enforce existing authorization requirements for e-cigarette products. The letter references past tobacco and e-cigarette enforcement actions, including the 1998 tobacco master settlement agreement and the 2022 $438.5 million settlement with JUUL Labs.
Connecticut’s legislature passed House Bill 5312, creating new civil enforcement mechanisms for deepfake digital sexual assault, including unauthorized dissemination of synthetically created intimate images and AI-generated child pornography. The bill establishes a private right of action for victims and empowers the Connecticut Attorney General to pursue civil injunctions and penalties against abusers and platforms hosting illegal content. This builds on prior Connecticut laws criminalizing unauthorized intimate image dissemination.
